Chapter 246： learn

"Albus, it turns out that my way of educating Sean is more suitable."

"It's not your way of teaching, it's Sean's own idea."

"I certainly don't deny that Sean has a brilliant little brain - but you have to admit that he has learned things that many people can't before he arrived in Nurmengard for half a year."

"Accumulate a lot and judge the situation, this is Sean's consistent style."

"Ha! After all you're denying my credit, old friend."

"It's not called credit, it's called risk - don't you think it's too dangerous to let a second-year kid infiltrate a dark wizarding organization?"

In front of the burning fireplace, Dumbledore took a sip of butterbeer with a headache.

Across from him, Grindelwald was pouring red wine into a glass, which he seemed to have just finished drinking, and the alcohol brought some redness to his face.

"I just told him how to use the power around him," Grindelwald shook the wine in his glass quite contentedly, "How to do it in the end, how to implement it, the specific strategy is all determined by Sean himself. Yes - I only provide a little convenience for transportation and protection in the dark. But then again, this kid likes to stand behind someone when he does things, I like this cautious style very much, ha~"

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly: "You are like an old man who condones the mischief of his younger generation."

"This is not nonsense," Grindelwald smiled, and he pointed to the coffee table in front of the two of them, "Look, he has only just acted, and he has achieved such a big gain."

Next to the wine bottle on the coffee table, a golden goblet was lying on it. The golden cup has two finely machined solid gold handles, and the cup body is engraved with symbolic fine carvings.

Hufflepuff's gold cup, something Sean brought back from Malfoy Manor that night.

Because of the change in the world line, Sean himself didn't know whether Voldemort still made those few Horcruxes he was familiar with - at least he hadn't seen the diary.

But out of a sense of insurance and temptation, he used his words to get out of Bella that Voldemort had let him save something. After "returning things to their original owners", Sean got this Hufflepuff's gold cup.

He didn't know if this thing was used as a gold cup, but Sean gave it to Grindelwald just to be on the safe side. In case there was any strange and terrible magic on it, he couldn't handle it now.

Dumbledore's expression became a little more serious, he picked up Hufflepuff's gold cup, rubbed his fingers on the pure gold handle, and said with a sigh, "Speaking of which, it's really a major gain, which also verifies that we previous conjecture."

Even when it comes to serious business, Grindelwald looks indifferent: "It's just a Horcrux... Our dear Tom Riddle is probably still worried about a new body, haha, you say, he will Wouldn't it be boarding on some strange creature?"

"Gellert, this is a very serious question. Previously, we only guessed that Riddle split his soul, but now it seems that he may have created more than one Horcrux." Dumbledore said seriously.

Grindelwald drank the wine from the goblet, and swayed the goblet with one finger: "Albus, this is worth taking seriously, but not worth the trouble - you always go too far. Tolerance, too benevolent, murder is a condition for making Horcruxes, you don't want to believe that a person would commit such a crime, even over and over again. But the reality is like this, throughout the ages, on the road of immortality, there are Too many crazy wizards going on and on."

He sneered disdainfully, "Just a bunch of idiots—"

Dumbledore was a little dissatisfied with his disdainful appearance: "Gellert, you know Riddle's talent and strength better than I do, now is the critical period of prophecy, he may do something, and then he will do something. Big trouble."

Grindelwald said, "Oh, don't worry, I will always pay attention to him", while picking up Hufflepuff's gold cup and filling it with red wine.

"Gellert!" Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald who was shaking the red wine, and shouted in a serious tone.

Grindelwald smiled: "Albus, you are still too conservative - or, you have forgotten who I am..."

He laughed and drank the red wine in the golden cup, and then clenched his right hand, and a sharp tooth flew between the two.

Grindelwald grabbed the tooth, without any extra movement, he plunged into the gold cup in his hand fiercely!

"Ah——" The shrill and terrifying screams sounded frantically, the thick black gas like smoke rose violently from the golden cup, and the pitch-black smoke skeletons struggled and collided in the room.

Grindelwald pulled out his odd branch wand and grabbed the wine bottle on the coffee table.

He sipped his wine recklessly and waved his wand at will.

The screaming and ramming skulls were gathered together by the spell, and as Grindelwald slammed the wine bottle on the table, "Boom--" After a slightly comical sound, the thing that came out of the gold cup was completely. dissipated in the air.

Dumbledore seemed to want to say something, but looking at the arrogant old man in front of him, he finally sighed helplessly.

"Albus, I have always thought your intelligence was remarkable, but because of this, you think too much and sometimes overlook a little. I, Gellert Grindelwald, make all European wizards tremble. The original Dark Lord! Ha, my old friend, how do you judge a dark wizard's mental journey? You have a ready-made example by your side, don't you? Great Albus, I doubt that if I were not by your side, you Maybe I haven't discovered Riddle's secret until now." Grindelwald laughed wildly, taunting Dumbledore from time to time, "You think too much, like this... a soul-splitting idiot--ha, kill Just light."

Dumbledore glanced at the other party's wanton and evil smile, and finally pressed his temple with some headache.

Grindelwald laughed and waved his wrist, and Dumbledore's untouched Butterbeer glass was swept away, replaced by red liquor.

"You need a partner who can act freely, that person, has to be fearless, that person, has to defy the rules, that person, has to be loyal to you, that person, has to - think as the Dark Lord," Grindelwald stretched out his hands intoxicated, "That person, must be Albus Dumbledore's worst enemy and best friend, that person—"

"It's Gellert Grindelwald—!"

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and finally he leaned back slightly on the soft velvet chair and smiled.

"No, it's Gellert Grindelwald now."

"As you like—cheers?" Grindelwald held up the wine bottle.

"cheers."

...

Albania, somewhere in a lush jungle.

Under the low tree, a figure was swaying in the shadows. Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, revealing his true face.

It was a local native, his face was painful, his eyes turned white, but his mouth was full of blood.

He put down the shriveled snake corpse in his hand, his face twisted violently and looked in a certain direction.

"Found... found... They found it! My most loyal servant betrayed me?!" A sharp and inhuman voice sounded mournfully at the back of the native's head.

But it seemed that this scream cost the opponent a lot of strength, and the aboriginal's painful body gasped violently. After a long time, he squatted down again, biting his mouth on the snake corpse again.

After sucking a sufficient amount of blood, he froze in place and did not move. Above the back of his head, a terrifying face with no nostrils and no eyebrows emerged.

"It's another...ha...ha...you..." A vicious look of resentment flashed across that face, but there was an inexplicable complexity in his eyes.

"Wait...wait...wait for me to come back, all of you will pay the price..."

...

The initiator of the whole thing, the president of the Golden Dawn Club, the current actual leader of the Death Eaters, the Dragon Whisperer, the most powerful wizard of the century, Dumbledore and Grindelwald's optimist - Sean Wallop is in a tangle. status.

Last night, he handed over the Hufflepuff Gold Cup he had tricked from Bella and left it alone. If it was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, it could just be destroyed. If not, then just give the Gold Cup back to Hufflepuff.

It's not something he needs to be more concerned about, Sean is currently suffering from a curse.

Apparition.

As a well-known teleportation spell in the wizarding world, the importance of Apparition is needless to say.

Whether it's escaping or moving, mastering the Apparition Spell will be much more convenient, so Sean decided to start the learning process of this spell.

After all, he had to go to the Death Eater party after that, and Grindelwald didn't have time to show his entourage every time.

But after really starting to understand, Sean encountered unexpected problems.

Apparition, as a highly difficult and dangerous magic, can only be learned after a wizard reaches the age of seventeen, and needs to be reported to the Apparition Monitoring Department of the Ministry of Magic.

Sean thought that this learning age represented the magic power of the wizard. After all, if the strength is not enough, it is very likely that terrible accidents will occur when practicing Apparition.

He believes that his current strength is enough to start practicing this spell, and reporting is not a big problem - the Ministry of Magic's monitoring of Apparition is not strict, most of the time it's just a show, and it won't take long , Barty will be able to take the place.

The referees are all my people, why do you arrest me?

But what Sean didn't expect was that there was a problem with his most confident strength.

Apparition requires not only the magic power and control ability of the wizard, but also the developmental completion of the wizard's body!

The essence of Apparition is still unclear, but the most intuitive expression is to move the wizard's body to another space through magic.

This spell requires not only a high degree of concentration, but also complete familiarity with one's own body.

This sounds ridiculous, after all, who wouldn't be familiar with their own body?

But the reality is that a developing little wizard cannot judge the next level of development of his body...

For a simple analogy, you can think of Apparition as a humanoid hole that, when you practice successfully, opens up the right-of-way to you.

However, it must be noted that the size of this hole is fixed by the time you practice!

That said, the size of your practice success is one of the conditions for a successful Apparition.

If you just eat a little fat or something, squeeze this hole and it will be over - but Sean, who is in the developmental period, still has a lot of room for growth, especially now, boys of this age are already long. At times, the difference may be five or six centimeters or more in one year.

This leads to the fact that if Sean is now practicing successfully Apparating, then in another year, he will not be able to pass through the hole that has been fixed, which will lead to serious consequences such as splitting.

No wonder you can only practice after the age of seventeen. At that time, the European and American people who developed early have already finished their development at most they can grow a few centimeters taller, and at that time, the magic power was sufficient, and it was completely possible to open a big one. A little hole... Sean thought with some distress.

Of course, Apparition can be practiced again, which is to open another hole that fits your body shape - but for Sean, this is a bit too much trouble.

This is the rapid period of development, and since he is only a second-year student, it takes a lot of energy to practice Apparition. Who can bear this part every few months?

Also, Sean didn't realize that he needed to practice more than that—because he still had a ring on him.

The thing that stretches the Unmarked Stretch Spell is not only the actual size, it will move with these things when Apparating. If it is Sean's ring or Newt's box, you need to master the appearance of the follower to bring the instant. shift.

Originally, it was Grindelwald who brought Sean. With the strength of the other side, the appearance of the followers of several magical animals was naturally simple, but if it was put on Sean, it would be a huge amount of work.

Sean leaned on the cushion with some distress. He rarely opened his system panel, trying to find out if there was any way to do it.
